The end of the year is always a time for reflection, correction and a little optimism as we look to the new year ahead. For us, we're wiping our brow with a big 'PHEW' at the year that was.
So, it's open-day 2 and I'm sitting in the shop, doing some research (always on the hunt for new Canadian Artists and Makers - know any? Drop me a line) and it occurs to me this - this - is our new life. Like many new attempts at reinvention, it's never a straight-line.
I snapped that photo on a trip to the UK with my partner. We were in Hastings, on the south coast of England. Little did I know that less than two years later we'd be opening our own local shop.
